Because huts make poor libraries and guys living in huts do not read books

It felt thematic.

Yes. All spells with area 0 struck twice. Paralyze, Soul Slay, Nether darts, orb lightning, etc.

Area spells (fireball etc) were not affected by the bug.

Nether darts was particulary nasty. If a unit was hit and survived the first he got the feeble minded affliction and had less resistance when the twin strike got him.

Yowch. Nether Darts is brutal enough by itself! I had thought it was a MR penetration issue, but this would have similar results.

What about the broken effects of Paralyze (ie that it Lasted forever)?

As Kristoffer is talking about renaming the .exe, I wonder if he means that we would be able to run 2 or more different .exes from the same directory?

Paralyze (the spell) is supposed to Last 30-40 turns (more or less the entire battle). MindbLast paralyze 2-8 turns or so.

New spell modding tools are available. There is an example mind duel mod available.

I havn't tested the fixed paralyze much, but if it still bothers you research level, path level and fatigue can be altered with the modding tools. Duration cannot be modded.

Yep.
You must copy and rename the exe.

{snip comment after KO's Last post}

So any other changes to files in the directory tree are backwards-compatible?
